About the Trap House

The trap house is equipped with a ground fault interrupt “GFI”. It is located on the plug-in on the left side of the trap house as you look into the house. The one GFI controls the plug-ins on both sides of the trap house but not the light. If the trap does not work and a small light is evident between the plug-ins the GFI has been tripped. Reset the GFI by pressing the button below the light. Power is restored when the light goes off.

Features:

Clay Delay Voice Activated Rock Throwing System

Trap 2 has an optional cordless voice-activate system. The lock box combination is available for a nominal fee of $10. Contact the Self-Use Trap Chairman below to arrange for fee payment and lockbox combination. For information on how to use the voice-activated system download the instructions below:

Throwing Doubles

Opening the Trap House

Plug in the trap.

Push the “pump motor switch” to the ON position. (During cold weather please allow the motor to run 10 minutes or more to warm up the oil prior to arming).

Unroll the cord. Pull the signal cord and push button or foot operated controller out to the firing line by the cord, not by the controller. Pulling the cord out by the controller will damage the controller and the trap machine will not eject targets.

Stand to the side of the trap when arming or disarming the trap.

Put the throwing arm switch in the ON position.

Closing the Trap House

Disarm by pushing the outside switch on the box down to release prior to turning off the motor, which will throw the target.

Push the “pump motor switch” to the OFF position.

Unplug the trap machine to avoid potential damage to the machine from lightning strikes.

Fill the carousel with rocks and scoop out the broken rocks off of the trap house floor.

Wrap up the cord.

Record your shooting on the clipboard and pay the cash box.

Close the front door to the trap house and lock it.

Break down and take the empty cardboard boxes to the dumpster west of the green steel building.

Pattern Board

The pattern board is located just east of Trap #1. No shot larger that number 4 can be used on the board as larger shot will cause damage. Also only lead shot is allowed to avoid ricochets.
